JYP VOITTI !!!%¤&!&#!

So yesterday was well, interesting on many levels, but it ended nicely, so I slept alright. But I'd like to start by going back to Weds. night of last week. Nuppe and I came home from soccer practice, which was really fun and I didn't play half bad, so that was nice. And on the way home we listened to the first game of the SM-Liiga Finals of Finnish Ice Hockey. My cities team, JYP (pronounced yoop) made it to the finals with a fairly good record from the regular season and were playing against the team from Oulu, a city up north in Lapland, the Kärpät (which is somewhat close to a Mink, but I have yet to know the real translation). To win the finals one team must win 4 games, the max played being 7, the min obvs. is 4. So on the first night, weds., we listened to the game on the way home in the car, and didn't get to see it on TV because we went to an easter play at Anna's church in a town near mine. But JYP won, 1-0 :) Yay ! The next game happened on friday and nuppe and I painted our faces, a picture should be uploaded to my flickr for that sometime soon...And yelled at the TV cheering them on, and dancing when JYP pulled out another win 2-0. The next game was scheduled for Sunday, Easter. If JYP could win with a shutout (not letting any goals in) then they would make history as the first team to go more than 2 consecutive games without a single goal against them in the finals. But they didn't :( Jyp did however pull out a 2-1 win which was just as nice :D The next game was for tuesday, last night and if JYP won then the series would be over and they would be gold medalists ! It was an intense game, Oulu was fighting for death, playing really dirty, but JYP fought back and had scored their first goal in 3:31 of the first period ! They whipped out another goal shortly before the first period ended, leaving the score 2-0. Somewhere in the middle of the second period JYP pulled out another, and unexpected goal, the score now 3-0. Just before the second period ended Kärpät snuck in and got one back, it now being 3-1. In the third period everyone started playing dirty, everything was on the line. Kärpät scored yet another and were gaining ocnfidence as they were one point away from being tied and sending the game into over time. But in the middle of the third period JYP made a breakaway and scored their fourth goal ! The score was now 4-2 Jyp, and there was 3 minutes left in the game, one of JYPs players sitting inside the penalty box. So Kärpät took advantage of the situtation and pulled out their goal keeper so that it was 6 on 4 on JYPs end of the rink. But with JYPs amazing offense one of the forwards made an awesome breakaway and skated down to an empty net, making the score 5-2 with less than a minute to play. It was over, and everyone knew it. It was so great. JYP made history as the first team to go 4-0 in the finals ! Yeahhhh. It was realyl exciting and I called Nuppe so that we could just scream with each other. (I had already moved to the Viertolas and she was at her friends house, so we had to use the phone to communicate our overflowing joy, haha) Anyways, so that was really exciting and today at school everyone is just happy and has no voice :D But yeah. So yesterday my host mom left for 11 days to Canada to visit her daughter Maija who is on an exchange in Vancouver. So I'm staying with the Viertolas until Saturday, then I'm with Annina for her birthday party until Sunday and then I stay with the Sainpalos until the next Saturday when I leave for a Rotary conference in a town nearby. I'm a busy kid :P Tomorrow I'm taking Annina with me to youth group, which I'm really excited for !!! I hope she likes it even half as much as I do. And then maybe on sudnay night or monday morning I get to talk with my familyyyyy "¤%#"¤&&#!"¤ Which I am more than excited for. And I'm actually really tired of typing now, so if I think of more I'll blog tomorrow !
